Description
The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, . . . When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. -Psalm 34:15-18 (English Standard Version) When tragedy rains on us without warning, when darkness threatens to devour us in despair, the one light left flickering is hope. Even in the most show more heart-wrenching times, there is still a reason for hope. Our hearts know it even if our minds cannot comprehend it. That reason is held out here, in the compassionate words of ten trustworthy voices from across the country--all offering perspective, comfort, and hope for the grief that grips us in fearful and painful times. This hope, these comforts, are at the heart of this book. As you absorb the eternal wisdom and godly perspective offered by beloved Christians such as Max Lucado, Joni Eareckson Tada, John Piper, Adrian Rogers, and Skip Ryan, you will not only find a reason for hope, but the peace that passes all understanding. A peace that Christ holds out to you this very hour. Contributors Foreword by Lisa Beamer Wife of one of the heroes of Flight 93 R.
